If we're going to do that then we might as well create a new JEP 
identical to JEP-0090 except for a new 'http://jabber.org/protocol/time' 
namespace and the datetime format of the <utc/> element. Then, assuming 
there weren't too many other improvements included, it could reach 
"Draft" status quickly. It would also be trivial to implement for anyone 
who'd implemented the old JEP, so JEP-0090 could be depricated in record 
time.

We could do the same for JEP-0091 too (although during the transition 
the need for dual delay elements would result in extra bandwidth 
consumption).
